About our festival paella catering in Hall's Green
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. On the menu are vegan paella, churros and giant-pan paella, and we are often booked for country shows and sports clubs and race days.
Near Hall's Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Hall's Green events: pitches and permissions
Hall's Green is about 4 miles south of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Across the TN14 area, we can bring the pans to you. Hall's Green is one of 922 places in Kent where we cook. Our nearest city page is London, about 23 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Weald Community Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. If your event is in Bough Beech Reservoir, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Hall's Green, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
Wherever your event is in TN14, we can cook for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

- Details of power, water and waste arrangements

Your questions about festival paella catering in Hall's Green
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cook in Bough Beech Reservoir?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hall's Green.
Paella compared with other options
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
